Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Evolution Power Tools R255TBL is a portable multi-material table saw with a 255 mm tungsten carbide tipped blade, listed at £294.78 and sitting at number six in this guide. It is the model Evolution built to replace the Rage 5-S, and it is the cheapest of the three 255 mm Evolution saws collected here — the other two are £379.98 and £417.97. It is also the one listing in this guide whose motor figure agrees with itself: the title says 1,650 W and the specification table says "1650 watts". The Bosch, DeWalt and Scheppach listings in this guide all disagree with themselves on exactly that kind of number.
The accessories are where the money moves. The bullets say to add the wheeled stand for extra portability, and it is sold separately. The dearest 255 mm Evolution here, at £417.97, is the 1,800 W saw supplied with a wheeled stand; the £379.98 listing is the same 1,800 W machine without one. That puts the stand at £37.99 of the £123.19 between the cheapest and dearest versions. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from a test of our own.
